Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 25 mM Sodium Acetate, 0.1 M NaCl, 5 mM DTT, pH 5.5
  • Recombinant Human Cathepsin V (rhCathepsin V) (Catalog # 1080-CY)
  • Substrate: Z-Leu-Arg-AMC ((Catalog # ES008), 2 mM stock in DMSO
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhCathepsin V to 1 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load into a black well plate 50 µL of 1 µg/mL rhCathepsin V and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

         Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

    Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
    amount of enzyme (µg)

         *Adjusted for Substrate Blank

         **Derived using calibration standard 7-Amino, 4-Methyl Coumarin (AMC) (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891).

Per Well:
  • rhCathepsin V: 0.050 μg
  • Substrate: 10 µM

Background: Cathepsin V

Cathepsin V (also known as Cathepsin L2 and U) is a cysteine protease of the papain family (1). It is expressed as a proenzyme in lysosomes, which can be autocatalytically converted to the mature form at pH 4.0 (2). Cathepsin V shows high amino acid identity with Cathepsin L (77% for the proenzymes and 80% for the mature enzymes) (3). However, Cathepsin V is specifically expressed in the thymus, testis, and corneal epithelium whereas Cathepsin L is expressed throughout the body.
